New Posting Features - Thread Thumbnails

Thread Thumbnails
--------------------------------------
Created By: Null Parameter

This mod is officially tested with 3.8.1, but has been reported to work with many other versions.

Please leave any comments, suggestions or bugs.

Description

This mod allows a user, when creating or editing a thread, to specify a Thumbnail image to be used for display next to the thread in the Thread Listing.

With this mod you can define a set of forums that have thumbnails enabled, then in those forums whenever a user creates or edits their thread they can change their thumbnail, based on the method that you choose to allow.

This image is then shown in the Forum Display, in place of the Thread Icon.
The image also appears in Search & Tag Search, and I can add it to the regular Search if somebody requests it. And possibly have options for displaying in each area.

Making a New Thread it works , but editing a thread and putting in a url does not work. It will not save the URL.

same problem with me and with some other users here got the same issue, so i came back to you to find a solution if there's away we can figure out a fix for this problem

I tried to edit the field thumbnailurl on the thread table and the thumbnail changed perfecto but not a good solution for users who can't deal with db's or phpmyadmin

Just one thing, please have this also apply to sticky threads as well.

Yeah it will be good

It will definitely have the attachment option, where it will automatically use the first attachment. I'm not sure about using the first image in the post, I haven't looked into how difficult that will be. I'll have to get back to you on that.

what about if there's an option or a check box behind the attachments to choose a thmbnail for the thread .. this is my idea about attachment

will be back to you if there's any new
